With the rising demand for clean water across the globe, the industry is expected to grow at a significant pace during the next decade. The global scale inhibitor market is expected to grow at a decent pace, primarily driven by the Asia-Pacific market. The global scale inhibitor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.03% between 2014 and 2019 to reach a value of $4.69 billion by 2019. The suitability of any given chemical depends on the material of the system it has to act in, the nature of the substances it is added into, and their relative PPM levels. As the water treatment industry focuses on producing efficient scale prevention products that minimize harm to the environment, suppliers are increasingly showing interest on biodegradability and green scale inhibitor.

The global scale inhibitor market by product type and application has witnessed a significant growth in the past few years and this growth is estimated to persist in the coming years. The primary product is phosphonates that constitute majority of the market globally.

North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific dominated the market in 2013 and accounted for over 88% of the market. The developed regions dominate the scale inhibitor market. Country wise, the U.S. is the topmost consumer globally and is also its largest market, growing at a CAGR of 2.98% in terms of value during the forecasting period 2014-2019. On the other hand, RoW that includes the Middle East, Africa, and South America is expected to witness the fastest growth by 2019.

The fastest growth in the scale inhibitor market is expected to come from scale inhibitor used in water & waste water treatment in terms of value which will continue to expand in the coming years. In the recent past, new product launches have dominated the strategies adopted by players globally. The major market players have invested large amounts in R&D activities to develop new products to enter and enhance their market position.
